Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to data collection for artificial intelligence (AI) functionalities. An apparatus, such as a UE, transmits first signaling that requests a configuration for collection of data for one or more AI functionalities. The UE receives, responsive to the first signaling, second signaling that indicates the configuration for the collection of the data. The UE then collects the data on the configuration. In some examples, a training entity transmits signaling that requests the data associated with one or more AI functionalities. The UE transmits, responsive to the signaling, signaling that approves collection of the data or rejects the collection of the data based on a configuration for the collection of the data.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to wireless communications, and more specifically to enabling (e.g., determining, identifying, applying, activating, executing, configuring) one or more artificial intelligence (AI) functionalities. BACKGROUND A wireless communications system may include one or multiple network communication devices, which may be otherwise known as network equipment (NE), supporting wireless communications for one or multiple user communication devices, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE), or other suitable terminology. The wireless communications system may support wireless communications with one or multiple user communication devices by utilizing resources of the wireless communications system (e.g., time resources (e.g., symbols, slots, subframes, frames, or the like) or frequency resources (e.g., subcarriers, carriers, or the like)). Additionally, the wireless communications system may support wireless communications across various radio access technologies including third generation (3G) radio access technology, fourth generation (4G) radio access technology, fifth generation (5G) radio access technology, among other suitable radio access technologies beyond 5G (e.g., sixth generation (6G)). SUMMARY An article “a” before an element is unrestricted and understood to refer to “at least one” of those elements or “one or more” of those elements. The terms “a,” “at least one,” “one or more,” and “at least one of one or more” may be interchangeable. As used herein, including in the claims, “or” as used in a list of items (e.g., a list of items prefaced by a phrase such as “at least one of” or “one or more of” or “one or both of”) indicates an inclusive list such that, for example, a list of at least one of A, B, or C means A or B or C or AB or AC or BC or ABC (i.e., A and B and C). Also, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall not be construed as a reference to a closed set of conditions. For example, an example step that is described as “based on condition A” may be based on both a condition A and a condition B without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In other words, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall be construed in the same manner as the phrase “based at least in part on”. Further, as used herein, including in the claims, a “set” may include one or more elements. A UE for wireless communication is described. The UE may be configured to, capable of, or operable to perform one or more operations as described herein. For example, the UE may be configured to, capable of, or operable to transmit first signaling that requests a configuration for collection of data for one or more AI functionalities; receive, responsive to (or based at least in part on) the first signaling, second signaling that indicates the configuration for the collection of the data; and collect the data based on the configuration. A processor for wireless communication is described. The processor may be configured to, capable of, or operable to perform one or more operations as described herein. For example, the processor may be configured to, capable of, or operable to transmit first signaling that requests a configuration for collection of data for one or more AI functionalities; receive, responsive to (or based at least in part on) the first signaling, second signaling that indicates the configuration for the collection of the data; and collect the data based on the configuration. A method performed or performable by a UE for wireless communication is described. The method may include transmitting first signaling that requests a configuration for collection of data for one or more AI functionalities; receiving, responsive to (or based at least in part on) the first signaling, second signaling that indicates the configuration for the collection of the data; and collecting the data based on the configuration. In some implementations of the UE, the processor, and the method described herein, the configuration includes respective sets of parameters corresponding to the one or more AI functionalities. In some implementations of the UE, the processor, and the method described herein, the one or more AI functionalities are performed or performable by (or one or more of stored at, supported by, or configured for) the UE. Some implementations of the UE, the processor, and the method described herein, the UE, the processor, and the method may further be configured to, capable of, operable to perform a handshake procedure with an NE prior to collection of the data. Some implementations of the UE, the processor, and the method described herein, the UE, the processor, and the method may further be configured to, capable of, operable to transmit third signaling that indicates information corresponding to a set of AI functionalities supported by the UE.
